hm = Km =f Hence L eq = K m

Where
Km=local loss coefficient, and
f=fricton factor of the pipe
Then the pipe length should be taken as:
L=Lac+Leq
Pipes in Paralel
In order to increase the capacity of a pipeline
system, pipes might be connected in parallel.
For pipes connected in parallel:
Assume that the same three pipes of previous example are now in
parallel with the same total loss of 20.3 m. Compute the total rate
Q(m3/hr), neglecting the minor losses.
H A = H B + hL = H B + hf + hm
no matter which route is followed b/w A and B
Since Vis and fis are not known, assume hydraulically rough regime
